The Dark Furie

When The Crowds Are Gone - Savatage

I don't know where the years have gone.
Memories can only last so long,
Like faded photographs, forgotten songs.
And the things I never knew...
When the skin is thin, the heart shows through.
Please believe me, when I tell you it's true.

Where's the lights?
Turn 'em on again,
One more night to believe, and then?
Another note for my requiem,
A memory to carry on.
The story's over when the crowds are gone.

All my friends
Have been crucified.
Made life
A long suicide. True,
Guess we never figured out the rules.
But I'm still alive,
My fingers feel.
Gonna play on
Til the final reel's through,
And read the credits from a different view.

Where's the lights?
Turn 'em on again,
One more night to believe, and then
Another note for my requiem,
A memory to carry on.
The story's over when the crowds are gone.

When the crowds are gone
And I'm all alone
Playing the saddest song
Now that the lights are gone.
Turn them on again
One more time for me, my friend,
Turn 'em on again.

I never wanted to know,
Never wanted to see.
I wasted my time
Til time wasted me.
Never wanted to go,
Always wanted to stay,
'Cause the persons I am
Are the parts that I play.
So I plot and I plan,
Hope and I scheme,
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams.
I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can no longer pay.
When the crowds are gone.

Turn 'em on again!
Turn 'em on again!
Turn 'em on again!
Turn 'em on again!
Turn 'em on again!
Turn 'em on again!

I never wanted to know,
Never wanted to see.
I wasted my time
Til time wasted me.
Never wanted to go,
Always wanted to stay,
'Cause the persons I am
Are the parts that I play.

And the lights,
Turn them off, my friend.
And the ghosts,
We'll just let them in.
'Cause in the dark
It's easier
To see.

I have a feeling it will soon be my favorite too! I can not stop repeating :
Where's the lights?
Turn 'em on again,
One more night to believe, and then
Another note for my requiem,
A memory to carry on.
The story's over when the crowds are gone.
